Baku Found Three Levels of Achieving Compromise in Karabakh ConflictJuly 3, 2006 - 18:50 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict supposes three levels of achieving a compromise: 1. at the geopolitical level (between the U.S. and Russia); 2. at the level of the leaders of the conflicting states; 3. at the level of political elite and publics of theses states. This is the opinion published by Real Azerbaijan newspaper."If the process goes simultaneously at all the levels within the framework of open expression of will of the sides there will be little hope for success. But if it advances step by step in a confidential regime some progress is possible," the article says. In the author's opinion, the failure of the negotiations during the recent years was conditioned by the absence of geopolitical consensus at the very first level. If the barrier is overcome (let it happen at the B8 forthcoming summit, for example) the hardest task will remain, that is to oblige the leaders to come to an agreement and prepare the publics for compromise. "However in case of publics' disagreement or violation of the geopolitical consensus breakdown is possible at any level even if some decision is already taken. In this case long-lasting peace will hardly be achieved," the edition says.
